Location:

Type:

Bike path

Status:

Underway

We're improving the route for pedestrians and cyclists travelling from the bayside suburbs towards Victoria’s north east by constructing a 10.3km shared use path from Bayswater to Lilydale which will provide the missing link in the 90km Carrum-Warburton trail.

Project update – February 2018

As part of the $7.4 million project funded by the Victorian Government, we are currently nearing completion of physical works along the Melbourne Water Pipe Track and the Healesville Freeway Reservation. Soon, you will be able to travel from Norton Road through the existing reserves to Hull Road

This stretch of shared use path will help link the wider community with local schools, shops and other local reserves.

Completed work:

Four pedestrian operated signals at Dorset Road and Mount Dandenong Road in Croydon, Cambridge Road, Kilsyth and Maroondah Highway in Lilydale have been installed along the route and are in operation.

The existing footpath along Bayswater Road between Oak Lane and Taralla Creek was widened to a 3 metre wide concrete shared path.

Construction of the shared use path through the Melbourne Water Pipe Track Reserve and within the Healesville Freeway Reservation is nearing completion. Soon, the wider community will be connected to local schools, shops and other local reserves.

Next stage

The section of trail along the Melbourne Water Pipe Track Reserve from Norton Road in Croydon to Hawthory Road in Kilsyth and the path along the Healesville Freeway Reservation is due for completion by the end of March.
